Are you feeling lucky? The U.S. Government is now putting forward an immigration program which allows a class of 50,000 immigrants known as ‘diversity immigrants’ to be issued Legal Residency/Green Cards. Applicants selected for the program must meet simple but strict eligibility requirements. There is no cost to register for the DV-2020.

Unfortunately, not everyone can apply. DV-2020 is not open to immigrants from:

Individuals born in countries whose natives qualify may be eligible to enter.

Each DV applicant must have:

A high school education or equivalent. This is defined as successful completion of a 12 year course of formal elementary and secondary education.

OR

Two years of work experience within the past five years in an occupation that requires at least two years of training or experience to perform.

You must also provide the following information in order to complete your entry:

Your name – exactly as it appears on your passport.

Gender – male or female.

Birth date – day, month, year.

City where you were born.

Country where you were born.

Country of eligibility for the DV program.

Entrant photographs. (Recent photographs taken within the last six months of yourself, your spouse and children, etc).

Mailing address.

Country where you live today.

Phone number.

Email address.

Highest level of education you have achieved.

Current marital status and your spouses information.

Number of children and their information.

Entry Period:

Entries are being accepted until 12pm on Tuesday, November 6, 2018. No late entries or paper entries are accepted and the law only allows for one entry per person.

Completing your Electronic Entry:

To Apply – Go to dvlottery.state.gov. Your entry must be complete in full. Complete your entry yourself, avoiding secondary or professional help.

It is extremely important that you retain your confirmation page and your unique confirmation number once your entry is completed. You can also check the status of your entry after applying when you return to dvlottery.state.gov.

Selected Applicants:

The Department of State will randomly select individuals by computer from among qualified entries. All DV-2020 entrants must go to the Entrant Status Check using the unique confirmation number saved from their DV-2020 online entry registration to find out whether their entry has been selected in the DV program. Entrant Status Check will be available on the E-DV website at dvlottery.state.gov beginning May 7, 2019 until September 30, 2020.

We needed immediate guidance on the revocation of my employment-based green card.

We researched online for good lawyers who can help us evaluate our status and recommend next steps. Our main concern was not to jeopardize our current status and future visa in the US. After calling several big law firms, we couldn’t get anywhere and didn’t get much traction and the consultation fees were too high. Luckily, I came across…

He cares about his clients;

As international entertainers, we travel in and out of the U.S. a great deal. Our foreign travel complicated our immigration case. But John was there to smooth over every step and to answer all of our many questions. John went to the interview with us and we could tell by the way he was treated…

I recommend you to call Attorney John Foley.

We tried to do our adjustment of status on our own but it didn’t go well. We called Attorney Foley after we received a denial notice from USCIS. Attorney Foley called the USCIS Supervisor who signed our denial notice and not only did she agree to review our case but she agreed to reschedule our…

John helped me adjust my status after I married a U.S. citizen. He took care of all of the forms and all of the supporting documentation that goes with the forms. To me, it was extremely complex but John had it all organized and our interview with INS only took 30-minutes. Two years later, he…

Dealing with US immigration was one of the scariest things I have ever done.

Dealing with US immigration was one of the scariest things I have ever done. I had been illegal for years. Attorney Foley explained to me what he was going to do before he did it. He told me what to expect and it was like he had a crystal ball. After a very anxious interview…

Attorney John Foley helped me get my U.S. citizenship.

Attorney John Foley helped me get my U.S. citizenship. His help through the whole process was more helpful than at the interview itself. He was always available no matter what question I had. Even if the question (now in retrospect) sounded silly, he was patient answering every concern I had. He made jokes and made…
